This article contains spoilers for the One Piece series.
Luffy is the main character in A bit Series and are often at the forefront of all major battles that develop. This means that Luffy has had to grow and adapt in the middle of battles and quickly. Luffy has its basic transformations that all fans know about, such as his big gears, but he also has some more unclear as fans may not even remember that there is.
Nightmare Luffy
A form achieved thanks to Moria's powers
Nightmare Luffy was a rather central part of the thriller bark arch of A bitAnd yet, many people forget about discussing the many transformations of Luffy. This is because it is largely only a temporary form that Luffy cannot achieve on its own.
To become Nightmare LuffyHe must be fed a lot of Moria's shadows. But when he achieves this form, he becomes quite strong. It would definitely be interesting to see this form return if and when Moria makes a comeback to the main plot.
Mini Gear 4
A partial Gear 4 transformation
Mini Gear 4 is one of Luffy's latest, but still overlooked transformations. Luffy first uses this quite recently, in a paragraph chapter 1127 in manganese. This transformation is like a partial implement 4 Transformation. Luffy does not go full Gear 4, and can instead choose which part of his body he wants to transform.
This is reminiscent of Gear 3, and only shows how much control that Luffy has gained his forms, especially after his awakening in Wano.
Water valley
An improvised form Luffy used to attack Sir Crocodile
Water valley is technically lffy's first transformation ever A bitBut many fans have overlooked it because of its gimmicky nature. During the Arabasta arch, Luffy calculated that he could damage the crocodile with water. So to fight enough, he filled in water and used it to attack crocodile. However, this transformation did not succeed in taking down Sir Crocodile at all.
GEAR 2 + 3 Luffy
First used against gekko moria
Gear 2 and Gear 3 Was for a long time Luffy's main gears that he used in battles. He unlocked these two during the events in the Enies lobby and continued to use them afterwards.
In thriller bark even saw fans Combined transformation Where Luffy both used at the same time. He used these two to cause damage to Gekko Moria, which was effective, but it put a huge load on his body.
Tankman (normal version)
A never seen version of Gear 4
Gear 4 Was Luffy's largest power-up after Timeskip until the events in Wano, where he unlocked Gear 5. Gear 4 have many versions, and so far fans have seen Boundman, Snakeman and Tankman: Full version.
Bundman was first used against Doflamingo, snake man against Catakuriand Tankman against Cracker. Tankman Luffy he used against Cracker was not normal. Luffy called that version of Tankman Manpuku version Because of how full he was. It is unknown if ODA will ever reveal the normal version of the fans.
Luffy Candle Champion
A form he created thanks to Mr. 3
Another overlooked transformation that Luffy has had in A bit is his Lightmaster form. This form was used only once, under Impel Down. Luffy cannot acquire this form on its own, as it is made with Doru doru no mi.
This transformation gives Luffy wax box gloves and boots. This is both well offensive, and even defensively when fighting an enemy like Magellan, who uses poison.
